LEBANON — Local first responders were called to the scene of a first-alarm fire in a home at 288 Center Road Tuesday evening.

Crews arrived immediately after the homeowner called to report the fire at 8:54 p.m. Fire department and Lebanon Rescue members saw no smoke or flames upon arrival. Upon entry into the home, however, they found a small fire in the kitchen.

“It wasn’t too severe,” said Chief Skip Woods. He explained the fire had begun when the homeowner was cooking on the stove. Though it is unclear what actually started the fire, the flames had spread from the stove to the cabinets above.

Crews were able to contain the fire and extinguished it before it spread elsewhere. Though the damage was minimal, Woods said there was some additional smoke damage to the immediate area.

Crews were on scene for about an hour and a half, removing smoke from the evacuated building.

First responders from surrounding towns, including Sanford, Acton, Milton, and the Air Van from Somersworth, N.H., were canceled while responding to the scene.

Woods said there were no injuries. He said the occupants had evacuated the building before the department arrived.

The family was permitted to return to their home by the end of the night.
